Briefly explain the function of "grave dressing."

What will be an ideal response

The final level in de-escalation, the post-interaction stage, represents the lasting effects the relationship has on the self and others. The individuals involved can find that their sense of self has been badly damaged during the final stages of that relationship. In working toward regaining a healthy sense of self, a person creates a public statement (grave dressing) to tell people who ask why the relationship broke up or why they are no longer friends with someone.
